Modern technology is a wonderful thing for the avid traveller.
With video calls and the internet it is easy to keep in touch with loved ones back home. Even when spending months (or even years) away from home as you adventure the globe, it can feel like you never even left. In the eradicating-homesickness-and-getting-on-with-the-good-stuff kind of way, I mean. And if you're savvy with these things, you can even record your conversations for posterity, or for the internet to have a good, amazed, laugh.
While on a round-the-world trip this past December in Australia, Roger Ryan decided to Skype his parents at home in Ireland. He's lucky they answered.
They thought he was on a bus.
He was definitely not.

Watch their astonished, expletive-riddled, reaction as he jumps out of the plane, giving his parents not only a mini-heart attack but also a fabulous story for down the pub.
I have to say, I have fallen in love with adorable parents. I don't think mine would have taken it quite so well if I'd done that to them.
How would your parents react if you did this? For their sake, I hope you're not getting any ideas!
